Experience. We’re the most experienced solar installer in the Sonoma County area, as we’ve been installing high-performing renewable energy systems since 1990. We have been in the electrical business for over 50 years and can evaluate your electrical renewable needs. We’ll draw the nexus between your power use and what you could be paying for your power, while also providing energy-saving tips that would save electricity without a large outlay of cash.
Over the years, our team has been constantly learning and improving, making every installation even better than the last. Customers leverage this experience to ensure that their solar project will be finished on-time and on-budget. Our projects generate revenue quickly and without any the last-minute financial surprises that are so often associated with projects of this size.
Expertise. Not all solar contractors are electricians. Summit Technology Group has highly trained electrical professionals, which allows us to provide one of the finest and most affordable solar electric services throughout all of Northern California. As a full-service electrical contracting company, we provide turnkey solar systems from design to finished installation.
Customer Focus. We’re small enough to give each customer personalized attention yet big enough to to work on almost any sized project. Our customers continue to focus their attention on their core business concerns because our staff will meticulously track and communicate every detail of a project from start to finish.
Customer Satisfaction. The best measurement of a company’s success is repeat business and referrals. A large portion of our business is generated either from a referral or a follow-up project being done by one of our existing customers.
Locally Based, Locally Focused. Many solar companies choose to dilute their resources by establishing geographically diverse offices. At Summit Technology Group we have found that being the best requires a dedication to a more localized service area allowing us to better understand state subsidy programs, utility company regulations, and better navigate application processes.
The solar panel cost for a Bodega, CA–area home depends on several factors. The initial investment will depend on how large your property is and how much power you will need. A 12-kW system will cost more than a 4-kW house, for instance. We design each solar system to fit the needs of the project. Initial costs could be anywhere between from $10,000 and up. However, tax credits and incentives will greatly lower the cost of your installation, and with decreased energy bills from now on, you’ll save immensely in the long run.
